If there's a slow car in the outside lane, and they're not making any attempt to overtake anything, you generally flash them until they move over. They are, after all, breaking the law.

What if a car is in the passing lane doing the speed limit? Asking them to move out of the lane so another driver could pass by speeding, breaking the law, doesn't make much sense either.

It's a grey area, although usually accepted that 90% of drivers drive faster than the speed limit anyway.

If it's a 70 limit, and someone is in the passing lane doing 70, you'd still flash them.

Speed limit on an Autobahn?

(OK, there are speed limits on most patches of the Autobahn. But there are some without.)

If he's driving at the same rate as the cars in the inner lane, he shouldn't be in the passing lane.
